Some people might say that I travel often. I have friends who always remind me where I was and when. Time flies fast and what happened last week feels like a month.
It then feels like a long time since I experienced something I find worth sharing. Because above all this blog is about my pleasure and satisfaction and hence I must be satisfied with every post I make.
Sitting in a plane on my way to Prague, feeling like what just happened to me in a lounge deserves to be shared.
So here is another story from my airport diary.
As usual I went to the lounge in advance.
I much prefer to be safely at the airport than waiting stressed at home.
Knowing that before Christmas, it’s always a mess to get to the airport, I ordered a taxi in advance. The trip lasted 1h 20min. The same time to fly from Paris to Prague.
Mom always said: “better to be 5 minutes early than 1 minute late”.
Two pieces of luggage, a handbag, and a dog, who is an even bigger lover of the airport than I am. He didn’t stop turning around, both me and my luggage. It made walking a challenge as I kept him on a leash.
Finally, we both made it safely to the lounge with 1.5-hours till the flight. I was well prepared with a book in my handbag.
Often I choose a place with good visibility so I can watch people. I have to admit though, that CDG airport is one of the few places where I do that. And especially when I have a something exquisite on me.
Before I went to the airport, I had lunch with a friend and for this occasion, I chose a killer outfit; long leather skirt, long-sleeved top, and leather ankle boots. Of course, I wore a leather coat and didn’t forget my watch, rings, and gloves.
I felt great. Empowered and very comfortable.
After lunch and before going to the airport I slightly adjusted my outfit for more convenient traveling version. I kept the top and changed skirt for pants and ankle boots for riding boots. The change made me even more comfortable without compromising my style.
I knew this was a wow outfit. And I was hoping someone would dare to compliment it. I dressed intending to attract and connect.
I found a perfect place to sit. I was taking off my coat when the man at the next table took off his headset to tell me that some people saw a mouse in the lounge so I should be careful about my dog.
I immediately thought, what a weird topic to start a conversation with, but I appreciated his concern for my dog. I asked him if he was allergic as I was about to tie Villie to the table next to his, and he said that he was not allergic but his wife was, and continued with stories about his dog sleeping in bed with him. I found it cute.
After discussing at some point he introduced himself and the discussion leaned towards our occupations.I can't share much about his work for the sake of the man's privacy, but I can say that when I shared what I do the conversation immediately took a different direction.
Little by little he started to open up to me. He was curious about leather and all aspects of it including psychological effects and why it is so attractive. He shared with me a few of his theories and I began sensing his interest in leather.
Slowly I tested him with a few trigger words like power and attraction and his reaction affirmed my knowledge and expertise.
Finally, he said he was very interested in getting to know more about leather and I shared that I am working on a second book that will help him to understand it all.
Part of his job is to test young people in economics and psychology and so he gave me some ideas for deeper research into different ethnic groups and also to focus on exploring unknown areas such as men who didn’t yet understand the power of leather.
Finally, he confessed to me that seeing me dressed in leather affected him; he was attracted but didn’t immediately know immediately why.
He said that in apite of the fact that I am not showing any skin, I am not dressed in a vulgar way. Nevertheless I captured his attention immediately. He thought it might be my large watch, then, he acknowledged and understood that being dressed head to toe in a classy leather chic outfit is much more powerful and captivating than anything else.
Dear E., you are welcome! It was a pleasure to help you understand.
